Join Us for the All Atheist Weekend in San Francisco!
Ellen Johnson, President of American Atheists, will be speaking at 595 Market Street, home of the Commonwealth
Club, on Friday May 20 at 7:00 p.m. There will be no fee for attendance. She will speak on "Madalyn O'Hair:
What She stood For and Why Her Ideas Matter Today." This presentation uses rare, archival footage which includes
interviews, commentary and more. Johnson also discusses some of the key legal cases Ms. O'Hair initiated, and talks
about how her ideas are especially relevant today pertaining to issues like display of religious icons on public
property, the faith-based initiative, and much more.
Afterwards we are planning a dinner with Ellen. The producers of the movie, The God Who Wasn't There, will make
a presentation at the dinner. We will attempt to raise some money with this dinner to partially offset
the large fee we must pay to rent the Commonwealth Club.
To join us for the dinner, thereby helping us pay for the room at the Commonwealth Club, fill out and mail the
form below. Or you may go to this link for a high quality PDF version of this form. The next day, Saturday,
May 21, will see a premiere of the movie, The God That Wasn't There, including comments by the producer. On Sunday
there will be an encore showing of the movie, followed by a computerized presentation of Dave
Fitzgerald's 10,000 Christs and the Evaporating Jesus. The movie will be shown at The Off-Market Theater at 965
Mission St. at 5th, San Francisco. Both the Satuday and Sunday showings take place at 1:00 PM, and both cost $10
at the door. Here is a high quality printable flyer on the event in PDF format. Please join us and help to make
a difference.
Pre-registration and payment are required for the dinner.
